Arsenal, after their Capital One Cup exit against Bradford, have had serious questions asked of both the spirit and quality of the players over the past week.

Monday night presents an opportunity for some answers. Yet while Arsenal risk losing touch with the top four, Reading's concern is arguably greater amid a recently growing gap to safety at the bottom of the table.

Betting: Home 18-5, Away 4-6, Draw 14-5.

Stat of the game: Arsenal have played Reading 10 times in all competitions and won them all.
